Freedoms of Nantucket: November 2006

Once you've experienced Nantucket, you will always have Nantucket. The beauty and splendour of an island 30 miles out to sea, with a history and mystery. Century House continues to serve its guests for over 175 years. Nantucket is to be explored. 40% of Nantucket's land is natural habitat: beaches, wetlands, aquifer recharge areas, moorlands, heathlands, cranberry bogs; rare species habitat; ocean, pond and harbor frontage, and properties for passive and active recreation.

"What wonder, then, that these Nantucketers, born on a beach, should take to the sea for a livelihood!... Two thirds of this terraqueous globe are the Nantucketer's.For the sea is his; he owns it, as Emperors own empires. "Herman Melville, Moby Dick

Freedom is the greatest form of luxury. And the best things about Nantucket are free. Experience. Discover. Explore. Irresistible sparkling beaches, ocean breezes, aromatic wild roses, a walk on an old historic cobble-stoned street, a bike ride to Sconset, wind blowing in your hair, a quiet time on the veranda watching the fog lift off, a spectacular sunset, a voyage at 4 am when is pure daylight, yet the island is still asleep. This is Nantucket, the one we know, the one we love, and preserve. Live the Splendour of Nantucket with Century House Perfection. Live this extraordinary privilege. Style, grace, and comfort. Century House is a 175 years old. An 18th Century Whaling Captain's home restored to its original grandeur and charm and fitted for the modern needs of today's traveler. In the heart of historic elite district of Nantucket. Discover the Freedoms of Nantucket! http://www.centuryhouse.com/

"classing styling is met by with luxurious modern amenities(Molton Brown bath products), at this Cliffside spot frequented by TV producers scouting locations and soaking up works of the former artists-in-residence."

..If you find yourself charmed by a visit to the Century House, you won't be the first. One glance at the wrap-around veranda, grey-shingled facade and outdoor patio where guests eat breakfast and store their bikes, and you won't want to leave, either." FORBES.COM
